Our in-house design team collaborated closely with the estates department and infrastructure director at the hospital, making collective decisions to develop modern, bright designs that could be clearly understood and promote a positive, professional and friendly environment, while avoiding any hint of an ‘institutionalised’ look.
We opted for a range of materials, using aluminium signs and monoliths for the hospital grounds, but limiting the internal features to vinyl and digital wallpaper for directional signs and door identification throughout the original and new interiors.
The project progressed whilst building works were being completed, so we liaised closely with the hospital. Working in a ‘live’ environment, our installation team worked around staff, patients and construction workers, which required a calm and considerate approach over time to keep disruption to a minimum.
